I saw one post where one posted that Evan asked: "why are you doing this?" (paraphrasing) and the post seemed reasonable where he mentioned Sum Types are better for that situation instead of numbers. Pattern matching negative nums seems like it should be available too. https://twitter.com/czaplic/status/1249350281722245121

Also, per this thread, I love the idea that side effects are handled elsewhere. I hope Elm doesn't change its own principles. Keep the update, subscription model, please!
